What travelers say:
It was said that many artists recommended it, but we didn’t eat it, so why did Jay Chou come to eat it? Because there were only one or two restaurants near the school, he had no choice but to eat, and then he ate the food, hahahaha. .

Hollow out the middle of the fried tofu, fill it with fried vermicelli, soak it in marinade, seal it with fish paste and steam it. Then, pour the spicy soup on it, open the seal first to let the marinade fully enter, it's delicious.
You must order a Jay Chou set meal. At noon, there are elementary school students queuing up in this store, occupying half of the store to eat A Gei. Under the guidance of the teacher, the elementary and middle school students eat A Gei, and the whole store is filled with the taste of youth.
When you visit Tamsui Old Street, you must remember to try the cultural A-gei. This shop is often mentioned in Taiwanese variety shows and is loved by many celebrities. Walk up the slope on the right from the three-way intersection at the end of Tamsui Old Street for about 3 minutes, and you will arrive at this famous cultural A-gei! In this snack shop selling A-gei, I found a "Jay Chou set meal", and posters of Jay Chou and other celebrities were posted on the wall. Taiwanese people are really good at doing business. Ordered a medium spicy one to try it out! I was so spicy that I cried after taking the first bite! I was not very afraid of spicy food, but I didn't expect to lose to a small piece of A-gei in Taiwan! It was really spicy! The correct way to eat A-gei is posted on the wall, learn first and then experience it!
Walking all the way from the MRT station, I felt like I was dying of heat... There were only fans in the store but no air conditioning, which was torture. The two girls were not hungry, so they only ordered a Jay Chou set meal and two boxes of drinks, which was just enough to finish. Then I calculated that the single order was 86 and the set meal was 85, which was also impressive. The fish ball soup was delicious, the soup was fresh, and the fish balls really had the taste of fish meat, not the common frozen meatballs in mainland China. Ah, as long as you are not particularly crazy about spicy food, the degree of spiciness is just right. Anyway, it is sweet and spicy oil bean curd and vermicelli, which I think is delicious. The buns are just average. The store also sells raw buns, which you can steam at home
The location is on the way to Tamsui High School, not far from it. I went there in the afternoon, and there were many people in the store, and there were many takeaways. This should be the most unpalatable thing I have eaten in Taiwan. I am not a fan of Jay Chou, so I don’t know why I should try this! The store also has Jay Chou set meals, and I chose an a-gei and a bowl of fish ball soup. The so-called a-gei is tofu skin stuffed with vermicelli (vermicelli) and a soup similar to tofu stew. It can be spicy, but it’s not spicy anyway, it’s just salty when you put it in your mouth! I only ate that one bite, fortunately there was fish ball soup to reduce the taste, but the fish balls were just okay. Because it was busy, no one cleaned the table, and the whole feeling was messy.
Actually, many people say that you must try A-gei when you come to Tamsui. You can also see many celebrities recommending it in Taiwanese variety shows. But sometimes it really depends on personal taste. I can't really eat it. But it's really unique. If you haven't eaten it, you definitely don't know if it's suitable for you. So I ate one and then realized it's not suitable for my taste. A-gei looks like a big fish ball, but it contains vermicelli and some meat. There is also soup. I personally feel that it's a bit salty so I can't eat it. But the locals like it quite a lot. Look here, there are many photos of celebrities who have been there. It is also one of the recommended Taiwanese delicacies.
To be honest, the location is a bit remote, a little far from Tamsui Old Street, and you have to climb a hill. If it weren't for the local friends who took me there, I might not have found it. A-gei is the representative food of Tamsui, and Wenhua A-gei is the founding store of A-gei in Tamsui. It enjoys a high reputation in the local area and is always full of guests. In addition to A-gei, fish ball soup is also a must-order delicious dish!
